Description

There is already Go to Definition in vscode, so that's usually not the file you're looking for.

Maybe it should also work with Expanding folder options - When file has 1 reference and that reference is the definition - file shouldn't auto expand.

Research direction
Examine the existing 'Go to Definition' implementation in VS Code's references view (likely in extensions/references view). Review the linked issue #28 about expanding folder options to understand the desired interaction. Look for files handling definition navigation and consider modifying the logic to highlight files containing definitions.
